About me

( 01 )

I design and build software end to end: architecture, API contracts, interface and delivery.

For the last three years I led the frontend of a production booking platform that connects a European tour operator group to four types of external suppliers. As founder and CTO of WebbingHUB, I now build TRAVEL, a multi-supplier booking platform, and I take my own products from the first idea to launch, including pricing, payments, legal and tax setup. I also hold an M.Sc. in Big Data.

TRAVEL by WebbingHUB

Booking platform for travel agencies and tour operators. All suppliers in one search.

travel.webbinghub.io ↗
  • One search goes out in parallel to booking platforms, bed banks, hotel chains and local DMCs. Results come back as a single list, with the best net rate first.
  • Hotels and room types are mapped across suppliers, so the same hotel shows up once. Bookings, changes and cancellations go back to the right supplier, with a price re-check.
  • Quotes with several options turn into a booking in one click. Back office with vouchers and accounting export, supplier monitoring, and sync with the client's own back office.
  • I own it end to end: product, pricing, architecture, supplier integrations and sales.

  • Led the frontend team behind the internal booking tool of a European tour operator group: architecture, code standards, reviews and delivery.

Second Cycle

Consignment platform for second-hand bicycles, from intake to seller payout.

  • Consignment contracts and legal documents are generated for every bike that comes in, and signed digitally.
  • Workshop dashboards track each bike from intake through inspection and repair to listing, so the team always knows the next step.
  • Partner vouchers can be generated for specific events, with prizes attached.
  • Full online store: catalogue with search and filters, checkout, pickup or delivery, invoicing, returns and warranty.
  • Payments combine Stripe with a local provider to handle the money flow between seller, platform and buyer, with margin-scheme VAT.

How I use AI

( 05 )

I use AI tools every day to work faster and to see more options. The responsibility stays with me.

Accountability

I own everything that ships.

Whatever AI writes, I read line by line, test, and check in the browser before it goes anywhere. I can explain every change in a code review. If I can't explain it, it doesn't ship.

Claude Code

Daily development

Refactors across many files, tests, migrations and repetitive wiring. I give it the context of the codebase and its conventions, keep each change small, and review every diff.

Claude Code

Code reviews

Before a teammate sees my pull request, Claude reviews it for edge cases, type and security issues, and simpler alternatives. A second pair of eyes, not the final approval.

Claude

Approaches I hadn't considered

Before building something non-trivial, I ask for alternative designs and their trade-offs. It often brings up options I hadn't thought of. I pick the one that fits and can explain why.

Perplexity

Research with sources

For online research: library and API changes, supplier documentation, legal and tax questions. I open the cited sources and verify them before relying on an answer.
